Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Xu Wenyan said this at the perfect time.

Apparently the vendor had also noticed this problem, for the lamb was very tired after having been carried back and forth for several hours.

The lamb's current condition is very bad, and he gave an outrageous price.

Now everyone thinks that the price is outrageous and gives reasons. The sheep vendor himself will also be affected by this and he will feel that this lamb is not worth more than eight taels.

No matter where you take it, you won't be able to sell it as long as you offer it for eight taels.

Ever since Zheng Liwei interrupted, Xu Wenyan had been giving the hawker psychological hints. When it was time, he just needed to stimulate him a little.

The chance of him lowering the price on his own initiative is very small, so Xu Wenyan wants to give him this way out.

"Unless what?"

Xu Wenyan raised his lips slightly: "Buy one for three taels."

"What?!" The livestock vendor almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. The minimum price given by the government was three taels. If he had sold it for three taels, why would he have run so far, made so many trips, and talked so much just to suffer?

"Three taels a piece." Xu Wenyan continued to hint at him, but this was the last time. If you suppress a person for too long, he will inevitably give up. "You've been gone for a day. If you sell it one day later, you'll have to spend one more day's money on fodder."

The vendor hurriedly shook his head: "I'm losing money on my three cents, I can't sell it at such a low price."

"Then I'll add two more rabbits. My rabbits are really fat."

The peddler rubbed his chin, and it was obvious that he was tempted. These two rabbits could barely be exchanged for a little over one or two taels of silver, and he could only earn one or two taels of silver in one trip, which was obviously not enough. But he also thought that there might not be other villagers who could afford to buy them in the future.

As mentioned above, it must be sold to farmers.

Xu Wenyan's face turned cold: "Alas, how can you do business like this? How about I use a strong ram to exchange your two lambs, and use three taels of money and two rabbits to exchange your old mule?"

"You have sheep at home?"

"Why else would I want lambs? Even if I feel sorry for them, it's too much suffering for them to walk for such a long time."

If you go buy a grown sheep yourself, you can probably sell it for around 15 taels. Besides, this old mule can only work for two or three years at most. It's not a lot of money to exchange it, but it's far from a loss.

Xu Wenyan didn't give him time to hesitate: "Alas, I'd better leave. I won't feel pity if I can't see you anymore."

"Hey, little brother, come on. Let me see your sheep?"

In this way, the cattle dealer was completely controlled by Xu Wenyan, and the value of two lambs and a mule was indeed almost the same as what Xu Wenyan paid.

But in terms of demand, Xu Wenyan can make more money with these two ewes and the mule.

Seeing the strong male goat in Xu Wenyan's pen, the cattle dealer was afraid that Xu Wenyan would go back on his word, so he asked for one less rabbit and immediately exchanged it with Xu Wenyan.

When Zhou Jianye knew that the cow would cost thirty taels, he stopped bargaining. The price difference was too great and it would be useless to bargain any lower.

He didn't know whether he could earn twenty-five taels in his lifetime.

After the street vendor left, the villagers gathered at the gate of Xu Wenyan's yard to look at the sheep and mule.

Although it is an old mule, every farmer would be attracted to it. It is very convenient for transporting goods, moving firewood, and even going to the county.

At this time, it is inevitable to compliment: "Captain Xu, you have so many livestock at home, chickens, sheep, rabbits, Captain Xu, you are destined to be very rich."

"Who said it wasn't? Brother Xu's Xiaohong runs very fast."

......

"Well, Captain Xu, after your family hatches the chicks, can you sell some to us?"

Xu Wenyan certainly knew what they meant: "My chicken is not an ordinary three-yellow chicken. The chicks I sell are also expensive, about twenty cents each."

You have to know that in the past a chick would not cost more than ten cents, and an adult chicken in the county would only cost around seventy cents. Although this chicken looks better, it cannot be sold so expensively.

"Captain Xu, this..."

"I'm sorry, we don't support bargaining here. If you want something, make a reservation early. If you're late, they will be sold out. We don't give credit." In the past, Xu Wenyan was willing to give credit because they really had no money.

Now everywhere in the county is in need of workers, and most of them are recruiting workers to build houses, and they can earn dozens of cents a day.

Xu Wenyan had no money before, but now he has money. He doesn’t want to experience the feeling of being defaulted on.

"Woof~ woof woof!"

The black bear circled around the old mule. The old mule didn't move and looked at the dog as if he was a fool.

As if he thought the old guy was boring, the black bear wanted to chase the lamb, but before he could jump out, Xu Wenyan grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.

"Black bear, if you chase them to death, I will eat dog meat today."

The big black dog immediately tucked its tail between its legs and rubbed its head against Xu Wenyan.

When no one is at home, Black Bear is the one who keeps Xu Wenyan company. Occasionally he is quite useful and can help repel mosquitoes, catch insects, drive away sparrows in the yard, and even drag the basin.

He would chase Ruhua and play with her when he had nothing to do, and in the end he would be chased and nagged by Ruhua and her son-in-law.

Looking at the lively and cheerful dog, Xu Wenyan thought of Dahuang in the village again. The puppy is good. You are the only one in the puppy's eyes. The puppy will never be angry with you.

After feeding some grass to the old mule and the lamb, Xu Wenyan began to make the mule cart. Estimating that it could not carry much at a time, Xu Wenyan tried his best to make it according to his own needs and the old mule's ability.

"Black Bear, bring me a piece of charcoal."

This is the most annoying part of splicing wooden boards for Xu Wenyan. In ancient times, things were not as good as they are today. There were no wooden boards that big, and nails were ridiculously expensive. Xu Wenyan used the mortise and tenon structure to splice the boards and the holes for the wooden nails.

This kind of delicate work has to be designed in advance. If one step is wrong, all steps will go wrong.

At first, the black bear was watching Xu Wenyan writing and drawing on the wood seriously, and even gave some "instructions" beside him, but not long after, it fell asleep leaning against Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan gently touched the dog's head: "Silly dog."

It was not until Xiaoman came back with the child that he finished putting the three wooden boards together.

"Wow! Uncle, the big sheep has turned into two little lambs." The exclamations of Chen Dong and other children came from the pen.

Xu Wenyan stood up and stretched his muscles: "Silly child, that is the lamb I bought."

The children were so engrossed in the story of Journey to the West that they pestered Xu Wenyan to make a golden hoop for them every day. Now they think the little lamb is the same as Monkey King's monkey hair, which is transformed from a big lamb.

"Wow, little uncle, this horse looks like it has been hungry for a long time. It's so small and thin." Chen Dong touched the mule's head with a distressed look on his face.

"It's a mule, not a horse."

Children are always curious about everything in the world.

Xu Wenyan smiled, patted his butt, sat down, and continued to paste the wooden boards.

Nowadays, every home can have a zoo, but fortunately, they are all animals that don’t like to bark, except for the black bear. This dog is becoming more energetic day by day.

The money I worked hard for over half a month was all spent just like that. It would be a lie to say I didn't feel sad.

In this era when most of the money is controlled by officials.

It's really not easy to make money.
